Tasting Notes

91-94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 04
Bright red-ruby. Extremely tight nose dominated by sweet oak and a note of chocolate. Rich, sweet and full but youthfully reticent. A very rich, complete Nuits wine with rather powerful flavors of cassis and chocolate and substantial tannins. This will call for seven or eight years of cellaring.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
